Working as a Dental Assistant
Dental assistants are crucial members of a dental health care team. They assist dentists, dental hygienists or dental therapists in performing health care procedures and supporting activities in dental practices.
Dental assistants perform a variety of functions in relation to the control of infection, assisting with the smooth-running of services performed by dental health practitioners and practice administration. Dental assistants typically work closely with dentists, oral hygienists and other specialized dental clinicians. The specific tasks dental assistants carry out can vary widely depending on their workplace.
Dental assistants are required to work under direct supervision of a dentist in the performance of any practical functions with patients. Non-clinical interaction with patients can be performed without the supervision of a dentist
